Modelling and Use of Adaptive Control Using Petri Nets

Abstract

The issue of modeling holds significant importance for the applicability of control theory, particularly at higher control levels where the verbal description of control objects becomes increasingly crucial. However, a notable disadvantage of such verbal descriptions is the inherent ambiguity and vagueness of the obtained results. This article aims to address this challenge by proposing an approach that utilizes Petri nets (PN) to model and control a specific component within an intelligent home. Additionally, the Simulink modeling tool and Petri net analysis tools are introduced as aids in the modeling process. The article focuses on creating a model that accurately represents the temperature regulation system in the home, considering the constant rise in energy consumption and costs. Furthermore, the transfer of the model to the Simulink environment using IF THEN rules is demonstrated, allowing for an evaluation of its performance. Through the comprehensive application of this approach, the aim is to optimize energy usage and reduce costs within household environments.
